Product Description
The Shark APEX full-sized upright vacuum delivers an incredible cleaning experience in a full-sized upright. Equipped with Shark DuoClean technology, it grabs large particles, pulls in piles, and directly engages hard floors for a beautiful, polished look. Powered Lift-Away gives you the ability to detach the pod and clean under furniture and above-floor areas with the push of a button. The self-cleaning brushroll delivers nonstop hair removal. The LED lights on the handle and floor nozzle provide visibility in dark spaces, spotlighting hidden debris. With Advanced Anti-Allergen Complete Seal, dust and allergens are trapped inside the vacuum.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Roll the tape forward… after using it relentlessly, cleaning up after a freakishly heavy-shedding golden retriever, a husky (known heavy shedder), cat, cat room (ew, gross!), and German shepherd, etc, the motor died. I was a bit disappointed as I expected it to last longer than 4 years, but relative to the abuse I subjected it to, maybe it’s fair to call it even. (The golden retriever has since moved out with his owner, and the husky and cat have sadly passed, so now it’s just our German shepherd. I figured it’s a good time to get a new vacuum cleaner.)
So I looked for a new Apex, but saw Shark has a NEW high-end vacuum out, called Stratos. (And apparently, in between Apex and Stratos, they came out with Vertex). Stratos and Vertex reviews were very good, and I had the impression Shark was just keeping a good thing going with their high-end line. I guessed they probably made some minor improvements wherever improvements might be made (though I couldn’t think of many, except maybe making it lighter weight, and would it be too hard to add a duster/brush attachment on your high-end vacuum?), so I bought one.
After one use, I put the Stratos back in the box and sent it back. Yes, it was a pound lighter than the Apex (oooh), but the materials seemed to be noticeably cheaper quality, and -what the frick- they discontinued the light on the handle?! And still no duster/brush attachment?? So in a way, it’s an overpriced Navigator, with a good brush upgrade. I then got online and checked the Vertex - it also had no handle light. Only Apex has it. Ok then.
I got back on Amazon and found a new-in-box Apex *still available* and happily purchased it before someone else grabbed it. It just arrived today, and I went over one of the rugs I did yesterday with the Stratos and was surprised with how much additional dust and dirt the Apex picked up. It’s just a fantastic vacuum. I’m very happy to have a shiny, new Apex (with handle headlight!), and will absolutely wince each time the initial dings and scuffs happen and it no longer looks new. I’ll be super bummed the day it dies and can no longer be replaced, as based on the last 2 high end product releases from shark, they’re not on a trajectory of “better than last model”. I get it, corporations are always trying to be more profitable, and maybe for many people (non-Apex users), removing the handle light won’t be noticed, and maybe most (non-Apex users) won’t notice the cheaper materials. But in my opinion, it’s noticeable. Apex truly is the best vacuum I’m aware of. Get it while you can.

This vacuum is heavier than any other I have used because it has the biggest motor. Suction is unbelievable, the lift away makes it possible to get under beds, sofas, and shelving. The 2 brushes work together and are so much better on my concrete & wood floors than any other vacuum I have used. It definitely pulls in any spilled cat litter, sand, and fine particles where other vacuums, including my Shark Professional would scatter it unless you used a broom first. The self-clean brush does keep the pet hair from tangling around the brush 97% of the time, we know nothing is 100%. The best news is in that 3% when something gets sucked in, did I say this has great suction power, it is easy to get to the bushes and clean them. The ease of taking apart of the entire vacuum and cleaning the brushes, hoses, canister, and attachments can't be found in any other vacuum we tried out. The ability to wash the vacuum parts was one of our top priorities with pets since no one really wants the animal smell or the nasty to linger or be spread to other areas of your home or business. The ease of disinfecting a vacuum was never a consideration or something I thought was possible until I got my first Shark.
You will need to get used to the pivot of the vacuum, it doesn't turn like those uprights that everyone is used to. This one is heavier than others but it has the highest suction and will pick up almost anything. It is also a pretty quiet machine, it doesn't scream and you can actually hear what's going on around you when you're working. The pet attachment wasn't what I expected, it appeared on the ad that it was electric and plugged into the handle. It isn't, it runs by air, the same as the rest of the brushes. There are no belts to ever replace in a Shark, when you use the attachments the handle also has a light to help you see what needs cleaned.
I definitely recommend the Shark Apex. After I purchased, it appears that it is also in a recommendation of consumer reports.

Update 9 months. Couldn’t be happier now that I’ve used this for a long time. My husky mix sheds like crazy on a dark carpet. This is the best at picking up dog fur!!! Love the lights on the wand - can see fur in all the hidden places. Anyway, I don’t think you can go wrong with it.
Update 3 months. Was working fine. I was starting to really like it. Then the brush rollers stopped working. The led lights were flashing and the power button was green. Looked it up online and many comments about the problem. I tried cleaning the wand connectors as suggested but did not work. Called Shark customer service. They did a video call and confirmed the problem. Said I needed a new roller unit but it was not covered under the warranty. Only the motor was covered. What? 3 months? When I balked they agreed to a “one time special” to send another replacement but I’d have to pay shipping. I balked again so they agreed to pay shipping. The point is why is this an issue (as reported by others as well) and why is the WHOLE vacuum not covered for a year?!!!
Original. Was not quite as powerful as I thought when using it on carpet. For example I don’t see the lines as clearly as I did with my old one. However I do like it and I love the features that allow you to lift away the canister and wand (note the hose is kind of short and pulls the rest over if you pull too much). I like the tilting mechanism when using to go left or right but find it is difficult for my wrist to turn it easily. I need my other hand to help. Maybe if my arm was stronger this wouldn’t be an issue. Overall I’m happy.
